Subject Author Date They asked for her opinion then seemingly are punishing her for having one. Same sex marriage is a controversial subject, perhaps along the lines of religion and politics, should not have been on the table. Just because she has her belief is that a marriage should be between a man and a woman does not mean she is closed minded or her opinion is less valid that someone who supports it. In my opinion, dont ask the question if you dont know for sure that you will like the answer. I commend her for sticking to her beliefs knowing full well that it may cost her theh crown rather than selling out for a tiara. People are allowed to have an opinion, thats why we live in a free country. I actually think she deserves to be praised for standing up for her beliefs instead of hiding them to please the public. Political correctness my arse, if you don't support something, don't pretend you do just to seem 'right'. (NT) Christi 19:26:37 04/20/09 Mon Opinions aside, she lost her train of thought and that cost her the crown far before she said her God-awful answer. (NT) -- Jimmy S., 23:27:49 04/20/09 Mon Well, the question actually wasn't "What do you, personally, think of gay marriage"? She could have answered far more diplomatically, leaving her opinion out of the mix. However, Perez was just looking to get himself in the media was a cheap tactic, and I don't agree with that, either. (NT) -- Ashley R., 07:48:40 04/21/09 Tue Exactly! as a titleholder who is in front of millions of people on live TV she should not have stated her political personal opinion - no matter what the question was. she could've just simply stopped after the first half of her answer. diplomacy and being nueteral always is the better way for pageants. (NT) -- miss CA, 12:18:47 04/21/09 Tue Ashley R. and Miss CA, I agree with you 100%. Always err on the side of caution in a pageant interview ;-) (NT) -- Jimmy S., 18:11:41 04/21/09 Tue
